I created splash screen to my android project, if i run it splash screen appears for a while and displays force close message, what should i do to navigate to the next page? any suggestions?
public class LoadingScreen extends Activity implements LoadingTaskFinishedListener {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Show the splash screen
setContentView(R.layout.activity_loading_screen);
// Find the progress bar
ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.Progressbar);
// Start your loading
new LoadingTask(progressBar, null).execute("www.google.co.uk"); // Pass in whatever you need a url is just an example we don't use it in this tutorial
}
// This is the callback for when your async task has finished
public void onTaskFinished() {
completeSplash();
}
private void completeSplash(){
startApp();
finish(); // Don't forget to finish this Splash Activity so the user can't return to it!
}
private void startApp() {
Intent intent = new Intent(LoadingScreen.this, Rebuix.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
